What is the deal with the rental in the Bramblewood, Henford-on-Bagley? It seems like the usual laws of physics don't apply in some of the rooms upstairs.For no apparent reason, the game won't let me put anything on or close to the wall facing the yard, not even a rug or a curtain. The same problem exists in the adjacent room, which is by default a bathroom.https://abload.de/img/ts4_x642022-05-0317-3fdkb4.jpgThere isn't anything blocking the way, at least not in the room itself, because when I pick up the entire room and move it somewhere else, the problem disappears... at least until I put it back again. I tried deleting everything around this room, including the entire ground floor and all roofs, but still, no luck. The wall is still cursed.The gamechanger who originally built the lot apparently couldn't figure it out either, because if you look at those rooms in their default unmodified state, the bed and other furniture that would normally be placed against the wall are actually placed a few steps away from it.I know it's ridiculous, but this just won't give me any peace! Can anyone enlighten me? :s

Sometimes roof do that when they cut into the wall.

There are several roofs, and the roof of the room below does appear to be a platform, but as I said, the problem persists even if I remove those. I've experimented with that lot for quite some time, and I can't figure it out, it's driving me nuts!

Yes, MOO does override whatever problem that wall has, but the thing is, I really, really want to know whyyy. :DIt's not the first time I'm unable to place an object even though there doesn't seem to be anything in the way. But all those other times before now, I did eventually figure out what was causing the problem, usually another object so well hidden that I didn't spot it immediately. This time... ugh! I'm going to die on this hill, aren't I?

It's the platform/roof outside (just checked). Drag the roof & ceiling outside out of the way, and the bed goes just fine against the wall. Then you can drag the roof back. It should work, no MOO required.https://i.imgur.com/jkK10ot.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/Lk4LRfh.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/JXy8KJF.pngEDIT: Although, not sure if it will cause problems in routing for Sims. Personally, I'd consider re-orienting the bed away from that wall altogether, but mileages may vary.

@Ceridwen Ok, this is really weird.If I do as you suggested and simply drag the platform roof away, I can put the bed where I want without MOO, and it even stays there when the platform comes back, as you said. (At least until I grab the bed again, then the game once again tells me I can't put it there.)https://abload.de/img/ts4_x642022-05-0320-5yykpr.jpgHowever, if I do it like before and delete the entire platform roof, which should have the same effect, just more permanent, the problem persists.https://abload.de/img/ts4_x642022-05-0320-5yukuz.jpgOh well... I think I'll just ALT-place the furniture as close to the wall as I can and call it a day, that shouldn't cause any issues. But still... weird.

That was a hard rule, but both there are obvious examples in both Snowy Escape and Eco Lifestyle for example where there is no possible way to put objects the way they are without MOO.

I'm not disagreeing with that, just with your earlier statement that they were allowed to use MOO in official builds. They weren't supposed to, some just did it anyway. I also agree that the use of MOO to a point where it interferes with functionality is a bad thing, but I'm not sure why you view this particular build as an example of that, because MOO is not what's causing the problem here. It's the equally annoying, new can of worms called platforms.

The reason you can't place the bed next to the wall is because there is a platform on the other side {the flat roof}. If you click on it and lower the platform, you can then place your bed. And it doesn't really make any difference to the house.

I know, thanks. Crocobaura already suggested that and it worked.

This is what the room looks like now:

Thank you all for helping me solve this problem. It would have been a shame if I couldn't have used that wall, and I didn't want to resort to MOO. The only "cheat" I used was ALT placement for the little plant between the bed and the wardrobe.
